Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game First Grouse!

10yo got his first Grouse yesterday!



Was trying to get the 8yo a shot for his first blood, since the 10yo had taken a rabbit already...



We saw plenty, but the 8yo was hamstrung by a misfiring 1915 single shot Iver Johnson 410, and probably buck fever! (I have since diagnosed the problem and fixed the old pop-gun!) He had 2 misfires and 2 misses.

Finally let big brother have the shotgun seat and he took this bird off a tank trap mound with his 20ga at about 35 yards.

Saw 6 birds and one bunny, frustrating day for little brother! Will go again tomorrow weather permitting.
